My winter fragrance,

Rihanna - Rebelle

I have lots of summery perfumes/body sprays and thought it was about time i bought one that would be more suited for this Autumn going into Winter. I recently bought a 100ml bottle of Rihanna's perfume "Rebelle" from 2012. lots of you will know it but for those who don't it is the second fragrance released by her following "Reb'l Flaur.

It comes in a Red box with gold details all around it and can sometimes come in a red coloured sleeve with a picture of Rihanna on the front. The bottle it's self is quite quirky, i am not crazy on it as i prefer small pretty little bottles such as Britney Spears' fragrances, Far Away and Vera Wang. It is large at the bottom of the bottle and goes in as you get towards the top, it is a clear bottle with red details on it. I do think the cap is quite pretty, it's plastic and red with quite a glitzy gold details which looks like ribbon.

I personally think it is a great fragrance for winter as the packaging and  parts of the bottle its self are red so make you feel slightly "Christmassy" and has a  rich warming feel to it. It states that the top notes are plum, strawberry and ginger, i am unsure on the plum and strawberry but i can make out a definite ginger scent to it as it does smell quite spicy. The hearts notes are heliotrope, vanilla orchid and coa coa, i have to say i have no idea what heliotrope smells like so i am unsure if i can make that out or not but i can really smell the vanilla with a hint of a "chocolatety" smell in there. The base notes are musk, coffee, patchouli and amber which i don't think you can make out very well. I am a big lover of summery, sickly sweet, fruity perfumes so this one is a bit different for me but i adore it! i think it comes across fiery, spicy, a bit fruity and sweet. i will most definitely be making the most of it this Winter :)

Thanks for reading guys! Xx
